Chapter 5
"One set match! Momoshiro Echizen pair to serve!"
"Twist Serve!"
Ku-so! What went wrong?! Why did she have to stand up for him like that?
"Fifteen love!"
"Twist Serve! Argh!"
Who the hell is this Hazue guy? How old is he anyway? Kaidoh's brother. He can't be older than Kaidoh. Damnit who is he? Where the hell did he come from?! Why is she so taken with him?!
"Game 1-0. Change court!"
Who the hell does she think she is anyway? Screaming at me like that?! First she doesn't remember me, then she hates me, has another guy and now yells at me!
"Te-me…Drive B!!" he smashed the ball hard.
Why am I even caring about such a trivial matter! Why does it bother me so much? There's no reason for it to bother me!
'It's because you like her, idiot' another voice in his head alerted him.
Kuso…She's just a girl. There's plenty of them around.
'Yes there is, but you like her for a different reason.'
That's right. She's different alright. She's clumsy, and a klutz and slow. She hates me, when others don't. She's annoying and always stutters!
"Zero Shiki!"
"Game 4-0. Momoshiro Echizen pair has the lead!"
'Don't forget beautiful.' His other inner voice told him. 'She doesn't annoy you. She's quiet. You feel empty when she's not around to watch your match. She makes you soften. Makes you think before doing unreasonable things. She cares.'
She cared. Not anymore.
"Twist Serve!.........Drive B!......Argh yarou!...te-me! Drive A!!!" he unleashed his anger through his racket. Luckily for Kamio, he had the racket in front of his face before the Drive A could strike him in the face.
"6-0. Momoshiro Echizen pair wins!"
Echizen walked off the court and slammed down on a bench throwing his cap off and replacing it with a towel.
"What's with him?" Kamio went to the net and asked Momo.
"Don't know." Momo shrugged.
"Te-me! He's your team mate! Don't you know anything?!" the speed demon lashed out.
Ibu Shinji approached the net to join the two. The three gazed at Echizen who was sitting and breathing heavily.
"He's totally steamed up. He's like a demon. Damn kid, where does he get all that energy." Momo muttered, but inside feeling worried for his friend.
Ryoma you idiot! You waited too long and now someone else has her. Even worse she doesn't even remember you, and she hates you! Kuso! I don't care. I've never cared before, I'm not going to start now!
But he knew better. He knew he cared, and he knew that when he was around her, he couldn't act the way he usually did. He was a different person, just for her.
A little short, but nyah…I feel like stopping here. Ideas, criticism and reviews all welcome. (Just not too harsh on the criticism plz n_n)
